Concepticon: A Resource for the Linking of Concept Lists

The Concepticon (common work with Michael Cysouw, Simon Greenhill, and Robert Forkel) is a resource that links more than 50 different concept lists (often also called "Swadesh lists") which have been proposed in the literature.

With help of this resource, one can, among others, easily compare which authors would qualify which concepts as belonging to the realm of basic vocabulary, and which not.

The current version of the Concepticon is version 1.1, and you can download all underlying data from Zenodo.

If you want to check the raw data underlying the application, you can download it from our Github Repository.
